Jo5N McCarthy, Esq. : 

My Dear Sir arul Comrade: 

Permit me to thank you for the pleasure of witnessing your 

" Columbian Army and Navy Guard Memorial Service " last evening. 

I came away convinced that you had indeed, struck not only the key note, but the full 
choral harmony of a service wliich will commend itself to present and future genera- 
tions as a fitting exjiression of the very soul of patriot devotion. A service which must 
prove a potent factor in perpetuating the sweet and gracious teachings of Memorial Day so 
long as American institutions are chei'ished, so long as our Flag remains the chosen symbol 
of a free and enlightened people. 

In the name of the Grand Army of the Repnl)lic, the Military Order of Loyal Legion, 
the Sons of Veterans, and the Sons of the American Revolution, those organizations in which 
I feel the greatest pride of membership, I thank you.

My Dear Sir: 

Permit me to thank you for the pleasure which I enjoyed in wit- 
nessing the presentation of your "Columbian Army and Navy Guard Memorial Service." 
From the examination I had given the manuscript I had formed a high opinion of your 
production, Init the actual presentation of the Service very greatly increased my interest 
in it and confidence tliat it will awaken a new and greater interest in the history of the 
times which, by the most momentous events, cemented our Union and gave the world the 
great men whose names your production perpetuates. With kind regards, I remain.

Army and Navy Guard Memorial Service." Allow me to congratulate you on the com- 
pleteness in wliiili you roprosonted all tlio chief incideiit.s "f Army and Navy Service. 
And the character, and sentiments to which we are indebted for the development of our 
country from the days of Washington. The re])resentations were forcible object lessons, 
and could not fail to arouse patriotic pride, and love of country, and also brought most 
forcibly to our minds the marvelous development of this government since its establishment. 
It was a representation that could not be repeated too frequently. As an influence to inst'H 
into the minds of the new generation that appreciation of country which is absolutely 
required for our future security and our stability as a nation.

at the Department £ncampment, Willimantic, Conn., February 15, 1893 : 

" It would be a grand thing if we could have one day each year in which we could join 
with the school children of our State in patriotic service, wliich should servo to deepen in 
their minds a feeling of veneration for the Hag of our Union, and inij)ress them with the 
value of a free government. I am glad to say in this connection that Comrade John 
McCarthy, of Post 17, of this Department, has arranged a service for the young which has 
this result in view."

Mr. John McCarthy :

I have looked over the pages of the "Columbian Army and 
Navy Guard Memorial Service," which you handed mc yesterday, and I sliould think it

.\t the close of the singing the Coi\im.\nder will say : — "Guards, be seated." (He will then 
salute and address the Vice-Commander.) '• Has our Vice-Commander a message for the 
Guard ? " 

VICE-COMMANDER. 

The Vice-Commander will arise, bow or salute the Commander. 

The Commander will then take his seat. 

" Commander : I have a message from one who was ' first in war, first in peace and first in 
the hearts of his countrymen,' and all who love Truth, Justice and Liberty, hear what our 
beloved Washington, the father of our country, has to say to us, — ' Interwoven, as is the 
love of liberty with every ligament of your hearts, no recommendation of mine is necessary 
to fortify or confirm the attachment. The unity of government, which constitutes you one 
people, is also dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real 
independence — the support of your tranquillity at home, your peace abroad; of your safety, 
of your prosperity, of that liberty which you so highly prize. For this you have every induce- 
ment and interest. 

" ' Citizens, by birlh or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate 
your affections; the naine of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must 
always exalt the just pride of patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local dis- 
criminations. With slight shade of difference you have the same religion, manners, habits 
and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together. The 
independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint councils and joint efforts, of 
common dangers, sufferings and successes.' — Commander, the million and more of flag and 
flower-marked graves in the cemeteries of the villages, towns and cities of our country, ttstify 
to the devotion and lovaltv of that message." 



'I"lie Commander will .iiise aiifl address the llKKAi.n, saying : — "Lul ilic IIkrai.d prf>claiiii 
Culuinbia's roll of honor and glory." 

HERALD. 

(llEKAl.1) arises, steps to the side of tlic mouiul ami salutes llic Commandkr.) 

" foMMANDiiR : fohimbia has on her roll of honor and j;lory the names of men and wonien, 
the e(]iials of any name on Time's hiinhtest page, save of Ilim whom ihe herald angels 
proclaimed lo tlie watching shepherds on the plains of Jiidea, the One who 'spake as never man 
spake ' and who lived and died for all. . . . Yes, on that roll are the names of Soldiers, 
Sailors, Statesmen, Jurists and Philanthropists in legions. I can only jiroclaim a few 
familiar to our youthful minds. I recall from her legion of Soldiers, the names of Generals 
Putnam, Wayne, Greene, Jackson, Scott, Taylor, VVortii, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. 
From her Sailors, Commodores Perry, Hull, Uecatur, Karragut, Porter and I'oote. From 
her Statesmen, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, Ale.vander Hamilton, Daniel Webster, 
Henry Clay and Charles Sumner. From her Jurists, Chief Justices Marshall, Story and 
Chase. From her Philanthropists, U'endell Phillips, Frederick Douglass and (Jeorge Peabody. 

" Sir, on that roll are names high in the azure above and around the pinnacles of 
earth's temple of fame. Like bright ti.xed stars will shine forever the names of Wash- 
ington, Jefferson and Lincoln, among the great rulers and benefactors of the world. In 
the dome of that Temple in letters of pure gold are the names of Clara Barton, Mary A. 
Livermore and Julia Ward Howe, the friends and comforters of the wounded, homeless, starv- 
ing and dving. Their names and good works will be household words as long as mercy, 
kindness and charity are esteemed virtues of men and of women." 

'I'he Co.\i.M.\.\DER will arise and say : — " Let our .Vnchor be placed in position." 

ANCHOR BEARER. 

(The .\nchok Ueaker will step to the front of the' iiujiiiul, place the .Xnchor on the lioor, resting the bar 
against the edge of the mound in the centre, and bow or s.ilutc the CoMMANtiKR.) 

" Commander: The .Vnchor is the badge of the Navy and the emblem of Hope, the child of 
faith and love. The Navy has been our shield and defence on lake, river and sea. ... It 
has borne our starry flag in honor and triumph over every ocean. ... It has opened the gates 
of Eastern Nations to civilization and progress. ... It has chastised savage pirates, com- 
pelled tyrants to set our captive citizens free and brought them home in triumph. Our war 
ships have carried relief and hope from our God-given abundance to starving nations. It 
was Columbia's gallant tars who first taught proud ]}ritannia to lower her pennant as mistress 
of the seas, challerrged the admiration and homage of Christendom for their bravery, and 
set us a peer among the nations of the world. . . . This is the prayer of the Sailor for the 
Republic : — 

"'Thou, too, sail on, O ship of State I Fear not each sudden sound and shock, 

Sail on, O Union, strong and great ! 'Tis of the wave and not the rock, 

Humanity, with all its fears, 'Tis but the flapping of the sail. 

With all its hopes of future years. And not a rent made by the gale ! 

Is hanging breathless on thy fate. In spite of rock and tempest's roar, 

We know what master laid thy keel, In spite of false lights on the shore, 

What workman wrought thy ribs of steel, Sail on, nor fear to breast the Sea ! 

Who made each mast, and sail, and rope, Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee. 

What anvils rang, what hammers beat, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, 

In what a forge and what a heat Our faith triumphant o'er our fears. 

Were shaped the anchors of thy hope ! Are all with thee — are all with thee."' 



The Commander. "Let our State Star be placed on the front of the mound." 

STAR BEARER. 

(The Stak liEAKEK will cunic forwunl, ami place llie Star on the fruiU of the luuiuid, two points touchiug 
and resting on the bar of the anchor, and bow or salute the Commander.) 

'• Commander: Our good commonwealth with pride and tender memory bows at this mound 
of our Slate and country's heroic sons and daughters ; this is, indeed, the festival of the brave 
and true, and our State poims with undying devotion to the names of 

{Heff itisert Ji~'t' or six tuiuiis of picOlic tnt'ti cr 7i'0i/uii of your To:un or Sdi/i.) 

wiio add luster to Columbia's roll of fame. We unite to honor the memory of our brave and 
beloved sons and daughters, to enrich and ennoble our lives by recalling a public heroism 
and a private worth that are immortal, to encourage by our solemn services a more zealous 
and loval patriotism. Around this mound and in this holy place let us honor those who made 
their breasts a living wall between our country and its foes. Let us recall their toils, their 
sufferings, their heroism, their supreme fidelity to the Republic, for which they surrendered 
home and life. 

" .^s we stand around this mound, or by their flower-covered graves in our cemeteries, let us 
recall what they and the fathers of our country held to be Freedom and the natural rights of 
men. This was their faith, which they proclaimed to the world. — ' We hold these truths to be 
self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with 
certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. 
And, for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine 
I^rovidence, they mutually pledge to each other their lives, their fortunes and their sacred 
iionor,' — and for those principles have the good and brave Patriots, Soldiers and Sailors of 
(N'ame of State.) toiled, fought and died." 

At this point the Commanuek will say, "Guards, attention!" 

{.\\\ the Guards will rise, and place their right hand on their heart, eyes to the Flag. The Ensign vfill rise, 
float his flag and dip it three times at the " .Amens" of the pledge.) 

The Guards will repeat in unison,- with the Star Bearer, the Guard's Pledge of Loyalty. 



PLEDGE OF LOYALTY. 

" We, the Sons and daughters of (Name of State) by this mound and Hag, pledge our hearts 
and hands, to cherish and maintain the principles of the founders and defenders of the 
Republic, and we hail the red, white and blue Star Spangled Flag, as the emblem of 
Liberty, Equal Rights and National Unity. .Amen, Amen and Amen." 
The Commander will say : — " Guards, be seated. 
" Let our Laurel Wreath be placed on the tojD of the mound." 



WREATH BEARER. 

(The WKliATll liKARER will come lo lliL- Inml ol ilic muuiul, place tlic Wreatli on ihc top of the mound 
anil bow or salulo llie Commanhkr.) 

" C'uM.MAXnER : Tlic WiL-alii is tlic cinblciii of love and victory, and 1 lovingly crown this 
mound in memory of the heroes living and dead. (Here place the Wreath on the mound.) At 
this time I can only repeat to you what one of the great martyrs of our country said, as he 
stootl amitl thousands of flag-inarked and flower-covered soldiers' and sailors' graves: 
' If silence is ever golden it must be here, beside the graves of heroic men whose lives were 
more significant than speech, and whose death was a poem, the music of which can never be 
sung. With words we make promises, plight faith, praise virtue. Promises may not be kept, 
plighted faith may be broken, and vaunted virtue be only the cunning mask of vice. We do 
not know one promise these men made, one pledge they gave, one word they spoke, but we 
do know they perfected by one supreme act, the highest virtues of men and citizens. For 
love of country they accepted death, and thus dissolved all doubts anil made mniiorial their 
patriotism and their \irtue. 

"'For the noblest man that lives, there still remains a contiicl. He must still witlistand 
the assaults of time and fortune, must still be assailed with temptations before which lofty 
natures have fallen ; but with these, the conflict ended, the victory was won, when death 
stamped on them the great seal of heroic character and closed a record which years can never 
blot. Hereto our children's children shall come to pay their tribute of grateful homage. 

'■ • For this are we met at this hour. Assemblies like this are gathering, at this time, in 
every State in the Union. Thousands of soldjers and sailors are to-day turning aside in the 
march of life to visit the silent encampment of dead comrades who once fought by their side. 
From many thousand homes, whose light was put out when a soldier or sailor fell, there come 
to join in these solemn services loving kindred and friends, from whose hearts the shadow of 
grief will never be lifted till the light of the eternal world dawns upon them. And here are 
little children, the representatives of the little children to whom the War left no father but the 
Father above. 

" ' By the most sacred right, theiis is the chief place at this lime. They come with garlands 
to crown their victor fathers. I will delay the coronation no longer.' " 

The CoM.MANDER will arise and say: — "Guards, Attention." 

The officers and scliool will arise. The Organist will play a march until all the liouquet liearers are in line 
in front of the mound. 

The class of Bouquet Bearers may be half girls and half boys, or all girls dressed in white , they will have the 
class bouquet and a Xational Flag in their hands. They will step into the aisle, form in twos and march to the 
front of the mound, and form in line /;«/«;' //;.• motiiiJ, the two smallest scholars in the centre. The ne.tt two 
smallest scholars will take places on the right and left of the lirst two and so on until the tallest scholais are at 
ihc cnils of the lines. The Adjutant will come to the front on the left, and the Quartermaster to the front on 
the right side of the mound. The liouquet Hearers will use the flags to wave and mark lime to the Chorus of 
" Battle llymn " and " Cohimbia, the Gem of (he Ocean." When all are m place the music will cea.se. 

The Commander will say: — " Now let the Gitard and all the people join in ^inging the Battle 
Hymn of the Republic."

Tho CuiMMANDKR will say nl ilic close of tlio sinjjiiig : — "Gwakds, preseiu your lloral tributes." 

The two smallest centre (Uiards will step to the numiul, salute, and hand their l)un<|uets to the Adjntant and 
Quartermaster, who will salute, and receive the bou(|nets and place them In a circle around the base of the 
mound. The Guards will then take places, in the same order as before, on the right and left in front of the 
monnd, /iif/'/i,' the uhool. The next two smallest GuAia)S will repeat the above movements, and so on till all the 
classes have presented their bouquets and taken their pl.ices. 

The CoMMAMDER will say : — "Ension and Flag Bkarkr, take your positions." 

ENSIGN. 

(The F.NSir.N will take his place in the rear and centre of the mound and raise the flag stafi so as to let the 
H.ig swing over the top of the mound and remain in position until the close of the service.) 

FLAG BEARER. 

(The Flag Hkarer will come to the front of the momul. She will have a little United States Flag 
and staff about two feet long, in her waist or shoulder sash, bow or salute the Commander, then turn and face 
the mound, unfurl her flag and press the staff well down in the top of the mound, in the centre of the wreath, 
turn to the front and say : — ) 

"Commandkr : That flag is the National emblem of the Union of the United States of 
America. That Hag for which heroes fought, for which they died, is the symbol of all we are, 
of all we hope to be. It is the emblem of equal rights. It means that citizens of the Republic 
.... native or naturalized .... must be protected at home, and in every State .... 
abroad, in every land, on every sea. It means that all distinctions based on birth or blood 
have perished from our laws .... that our government shall stand between the weak and 
the strong, between the individual and the corporation, between want and wealth .... and 
give and guarantee simple justice to each and all. 

" That flag is an emblem of a supreme will — of a nation's power. Beneath its folds the 
weakest must be protected, and the strongest must obey. It shields and canopies alike the 
loftiest mansion and the rudest hut. 

"That flag was given to the air in the Revolution's darkest days. It represents the suffer- 
ings of the past, the glories yet to be, and, like the rainbow of heaven, it is the child of storm 
and sun. This time is sacred to the great heroic host who fought and died to keep that flag 
above our heads; sacred to the living and the dead; sacred to the wives who gave their hus- 
bands — to the mothers who gave their sons. Let the poet tell the making of that flag. 

" ' When Freedom from her mountain height 

Unfurled her standard to the air. 

She tore the azure robe of night 

And set the stars of glory there. 

She mingled with its gorgeous dyes 

The milky baldric of the skies. 

And striped its pure celestial white, 

With streaking of the morning light, 

Then from his mansions in the sun 

She called her eagle bearer down, 

And gave into his mighty hand 

The symbol of her chosen land. 

Flag of the free heart's hope and home ! 
By angel hand to valor given, 
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome. 
And all thy lines were born in heaven. 
Forever float that standard sheet ; 
Where breathes the foe but falls before us, 
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet ; 
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us.' " 



The Commander will say : — " The Guards and all the people will now join in singing iwu 
N'erses and Chorus of" 

THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE. 

COLUMBIA, THE GEM OF THE OCEAN.
